Bill Frisell

Bill Frisell convenes a new lineup of musical friends, which features the acclaimed guitarist with Gregory Tardy on saxophone and clarinet, Gerald Clayton on piano, and Johnathan Blake on drums. Together, the foursome delves into intimate explorations of 13 Frisell originals (both old and new) to create this stunning new work that is a meditation on loss, renewal, and friendship.

The Sweetest Punch features new instrumental arrangements by Bill Frisell of all the songs composed by Elvis Costello and Burt Bacharach for their 1998 Mercury album, Painted from Memory.
